Ray Flores (Mormon)

Ray Flores (1951-) was an American skateboarder and LDS Church member from Santa Monica, California. Motivated by "the love that (Jesus Christ) has for all of us", and saying that Christ dedicated his life to making an example for humanity of how God wanted humanity to be. In order to improve the conditions in drug and crime-ridden Venice, he began the "Report Card Program" at his skate shop, in which he would give away a skateboard to schoolchildren if they would turn in a report card with good grades, giving away at least 50 skateboards to poor children.
